To rinse or not to rinse? A quick U.S. tour reveals a whole spectrum of answers. Chicagoans are off the hook for rinsing altogether, according to this handy guide — but Evanstonians are supposed to empty and "thoroughly rinse all containers." EcoMyths Alliance's Kate Sackman joins Jerome to answer the question. With Kate is Eric Masanet, Northwestern University Professor in Materials and Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering.
